Angela Stanton, the bitter former “friend” of Phaedra Parks, has quite a bit of egg on her face since the electronic book regarding Park’s alleged criminal activities isn’t selling as she and VIBE planned.

I told y’all when that bogus book came out that I didn’t believe a word of it… and guess what? Neither does the rest of the world.

The electronic book to a drastic nosedive to #15030 on Amazon’s Kindle sellers list after word of mouth spread about the poorly written e-book’s contents and it looks like people have decided to save their ten bux.

Vibe, who happens to be the publisher of Stanton’s “memoirs,” is also covering their “A”zzes by issuing “clarification” on incorrect statements made by Stanton in that video taped infomercial that’s been circulating to garner sales for the book.

VIBE would like to state a clarification on the matter regarding the video interview released on VIBE.com on March 15th, 2012. In the first clip (of three), Ms. Stanton refers to an individual involved in the criminal scheme described in the book, as the brother of Apollo [Phaedra’s husband].

It appears as if Everett and Apollo are not related by blood and Ms. Stanton refers to Everett as Apollo’s “street brother” in her book.

The statements made in the video clips were made by Ms. Stanton in a figurative manner and not in literal terms.

I suspect that statement is just the first of many “clarifications” to come regarding Stanton’s book.

Tamara Tattles also details quite a few inconsistencies involving Stanton’s memoirs and notes that I’m not the only one Stanton has snubbed for an interview….

Meanwhile, Hiphopenquirer.com is reporting that Stanton backed out of their interview after she requested a list of questions up front.

This seems counter-productive to getting the truth out there, doesn’t it?

HHE also called the music executive that Stanton claims raped her in the book. He claims that Stanton has in fact tried to extort her in this way in the past for money. In the book Stanton says she was afraid to press charges, but now apparently she feels comfortable making a public accusation now. READ MORE

Fans are divided about Stanton’s statements and I’ve caught a ton of flack for standing my ground or being “biased” as y’all call it. But I agree with Stanton on at least one point…. the TRUTH will reveal itself eventually.

Are you really surprised that the “facts” aren’t as Stanton stated? I’m not…

Somebody from Vibe is gonna get canned behind this mess and they should.

I could have told them this wasn’t gonna sell. Phaedra has gained fans so of course they certainly wouldn’t buy the book – and the ones that don’t like her don’t care about her enough to spend $10 on a book from an ex-con who clearly has a motive.

People love or hate NeNe – if her book was about NeNe it might(and I stress the word MIGHT) have sold.

People love or dislike Phaedra, but they don’t hate her – that won’t sell.

Nonetheless I am glad for Phaedra and hopefully this headache will go away – not a fan but she didn’t deserve this.

Am good

Girrrrl…Sit ya no edges black lips bubble eye fool looking @$$ all the way down..You just mad..take it on the long wide chin of yours and move on..No one is checking for you..you did the time cause your dumb @ss did the crime..STOP coming for Phaedra..your the dumb one looking for a quit dollar..you would have been better off shaking your flat corn muffins at "Magic" ..lol..lls..CTFU

Jaye

Imma keep it real, I beleive that Phaedra is a crook, she looks like it. I beleive that this woman is telling the truth!!!

So Angela called Everett Apollo’s brother. How does that make her a liar? Incorrect perhaps but not a liar since I’m guessing that that is what they referred to the two men as on the streets. The book not selling hotly is more likely do to Vibe’s promotion or the lack thereof of the book, and the fact that it’s a Kindle read, it doesn’t prove that Angela is lying about Fakedra. In fact, I’m willing to bet that this is way from over and we will be hearing about Fakedra’s shadiness again soon. So Ms. Atlien, don’t start fist-pumping yet. You’ve been around long enough to know how these things play out. Once someone else hits that hot button on Fakedra, and they will, Ms. Angela’s book will take off and so will Fakedra- don’t be left with egg on your face Ms. Atlien.

For one thing,she told everything she had to say in those three interveiws.And she seemed very beleivable to me. I initially said that Phaedra should throw some change at her and drop her azz off in Haiti.Not even a month has passed, she is old news and her book is no news. Meanwhile,like @Peach Valley said,Phaedra is gaining fans. And she is, like a lint pad in a washer. As long as Phaedra exudes that glossy charm and wit she’ll BE aight. And the pic of chic looks major crackish.

Paula Lee

Exactly

ill

Oh please Phaedra definitely did something illegal. She’s a proven liar and is definitely shady. I like Phaedra but call a spade a spade. No self respecting lawyer would defend low budget drug dealers and then get paid in the parking lot so why would this be a stretch? Not to mention those lawyers she hired. Everything Apollo raises and eyebrow too. It’s just easy to take Phae side because of the image she has worked so carefully to create versus Angela’s criminal one.

Ohhhh

That’s where you are wrong…lawyer are in for money. A lawyer will take your money where ever you can give it and defend you too. If Phaeder were involved in illegal activity she would be disbarred. After all she is a lawyer. You are just as crazy as the person that wrote that book.

k

i read the book and that girl aint lying bout faktra

Melissa

I still believe Angela non of what u just said proves anything except the fact she made a mistake WOW girl bye we all know Fakedra is a criminal!Phaedra got these high power attorneys that aren’t doing shit you know why?cause they know Fakedra a criminal

Star1

#TeamPhaedra

Way to go

I would buy the book if it wasn’t an ebook!!! I think there may be some truth to it and I’m just nosy like that. Phaedra- if she did it- she just did it. And what. Vibe needs to release this as a real book. hell black people ain’t into Kindle like that! SMDH Also, ATLien that was a lil misleading when you said Vide retracted – it was only the part about her stating that the dude Everett was a blood relative. Stop reaching!!!! I want this book!!!!!

Kamalla

Well this doesn’t change the fact that Apollow and his homies did some long time in prison and that Apollo had all those aliases e.g. Brandon Phillips, William Spearman, and Corey Thomas. They tried to give him 18 years. You don’t get a sentence like that unless you did some hardcore theiving and Phaedra knew him since highschool? Please! I think Angela may have embellished a bit but I believe there is truth to Phaedra’s criminal past. To this day she represents drug dealers instead of celebrity clients.

I like Phaedra…..If you did criminal acts with Phaedra,than you are stupid.You said you went to get the cars and all that other stuff.Don’t go tellin nah cause yah wasn’t tellin then.Nah you wanna write a book about it? Why would you trust anybody when it comes to criminal acts???? "Oh Phaedra said she would do this and that"…..Come on nah! You really thought Phaedra was gonna lose everything she has going on for you??(If what you are saying is true) Yah better learn to trust nobody but GOD!

Sara

"I told y’all when that bogus book came out that I didn’t believe a word of it… and guess what? Neither does the rest of the world."

———————————————
You are so wrong about that. Lets hope Pha Pha can keep a long standing job with Bravo cause no self respecting person in need of a lawyer will turn to her. Did they ever????????

Shekera

Its not that no one believe her. From some of the things she has said and done on RHOA, I don’t think she is on the up and up but who really owns Kindles? And if you do, is reading about Phaedra really worth 10 bucks?

Shay Shay

Ms ATLien, guuuurrrrlll is that ALL you got?? I thought I was going to click on here to find that Vibe had to shut the whole book down, remove some portions of the book, or Angela confessing to making the whole thing up. You need way more people!

I read the book and it’s damn good and extremely believable. I liked Phaedra but I always felt something was off about her, but after reading this book it makes TOTAL sense. Like many politicians, Phaedra is a CLASSIC sociopath. She has superficial charm, thinks people are to be used (and uses the "weak" to do her dirty work while keeping her hands clean), a compulsive liar (we see this on the show), reports of her being a freak, etc..

Why haven’t you reported about Phaedra having to surrender her law license?

"Why haven’t you reported about Phaedra having to surrender her law license?"

The book may have plummeted, but jumping up to #67 in it’s first week is DAMN good. They just need to do more promotion and turn it into a paperback. A lot of people still don’t like reading books online.

Kristina Endsley

Please- Phae did all that.. And you and errr body else knows it! She’s fake, she’s a liar and she’s, did I say fake already? I read the book, twice for clarification. She couldn’t make that crap up! And she is admits to being a criminal.. What did Fakera do?? She hired 2 attorneys. Watch the tv shows.. When someone is guilty, rather than tell their side of the story they holler, "I want my attorney" which is what Fakera did! Save it

TheTruth

First of all VIBE is smart enough to NEVER put that book in any type of printable format. The Kindle version can be altered because the file is not "owned" by any individual computer. In order to purchase a book on Kindle you have to register with Amazon who sends the purchased file to your Kindle enabled device (be it a phone, kindle, ipad etc).

If there are ever any issues in the book that need "updating" like cover shots, photos, text, ect. it can be done electronically without the knowledge of the consumer.

Catch a clue folks, Vibe and this convict are both in it for the money. Vibe went bankrupt just a few years ago and Stanton is their bonafide meal ticket. They are trying to make as much money in as little time as possible. And the electronic book protects them because they can change the "facts" as quickly as they are "read".

And they call PHAEDRA shady? Vibe is gangster!

iammeeee

VIBE just wrote an entire post dedicated to ATLIEN!!!!! Did anyone else see that?

I don’t know if Pheadra did or didn’t do what they said but I’m starting to believe in your conspiracy theory. It’s all about dem benjamins babee.

Truth

Don’t sleep.

Autumn Love

I will believe this woman when the cops arrest Phaedra. I didn’t believe her, but true or not, I didn’t think the book would do all that well. Sure you might have some Phaedra haters, or the curious who would support it, but there have been books written by actual HW that have not done well. Hell, if I am not mistaken, Nene’s book didn’t sell well, so why would anyone buy this unknown person’s book? If the police come for Phaedra, she might get a boost in sales, but other than that, I really don’t think anyone cares.

reita collins

@ShayShay!!! WHAT?? ‘SURRENDER LISCENSE?!!! Where did you read THAT at? Guuuurl…you BETTNOT say MediaFAKEshyt.com,cause you KNOW we been prewarned bout draggin’ dey FAKEshyt up in here!…(now I gotta’ go comb the hives)

reita collins

Okay,I haven’t looked it up yet and I do believe majority of Ang S.’s statements cause gurl didn’t bat an eye.But for real though,gurl is just hatin’ and still tryin’ to get paid.The fact that she was a gopher and now a stoolie is all on her. She was proven to have committed the crime.Too bad she didn’t have PhaePhae’s smarts if in fact she WAS involved. Bush robbed the whole country and is laughing at us right now.And he aint’ a fraction as cute as PhaePhae.She didn’t courier no fake azz documents to them places knowing people got cameras ‘eerywhere.Only a dummy would risk their freedom doing that gopher shyt.I say gone witcha’ bad self Phaedra,you clever fox.

Congrats! That’s big time:-) cheers to you and your success:-)

i believe her…that woman is not smart enough to make up this story…clearly..

I think it maybe some truth to her tell all book..you superficial people in Atlanta let people status and bank account blind your judgement.

What a joke!

mrs phadrea just keep ur head up haters all around she is jealous because you are succesful and she have to lie about you so she can come up she is not a friend of yours do not trust her pray for her

Stacy Etheridge via Facebook

It’s that a defamation of character lawsuit?

Tami Lewinter via Facebook

Yes if it’s not true… it is a defamation of character punishable by fine or jailtime.

wanda

Phaedra is just a regular person who made a few bad decisions. So what about her past cuz her future look hella good to me. If Angela was weak minded thats her fault, thatz y u have a mind of your own think for yourself r some one will do it for ya….Take ya lick Angela and stop snitching…we all have a past but its what u make of ya future that countz…..

Peach Valley

People it’s one thing not to want to read an e-book, but not having a Kindle is not an excuse to buy the book if you want it – they have Kindle apps that you can download to your smartphone and to your PC for free – if not having a Kindle is your only barrier then it’s one that can easily be torn down (if you have a computer, tablet, or smart phone).

I still contend that nobody is gonna buy this book – She is not a polarizing figure. Sara Palin is a polarizing figure. Case in point -Now, I don’t hate anybody but I REALLY don’t like that woman. I just read a 700 page book that was in part devoted to her because I disliked her enough to want solidify my belief that the woman is stupid. I wouldn’t buy a book about Phaedra because #1 Truth or not the chick that wrote the book is a trifling opportunist; and #2 I will read about Phaedra on a blog all day, but she doesn’t affect me to the point I want to spend my money. Of course there are nosy people that are nosy just for the sake of being nosy, but I dare say several people fit into the same category as I do.

If Mrs. Nada is shady it will come out and the book might increase in sales for a minute, but then it will die – and let’s face it – this Angela chick isn’t the brightest bulb in the drawer so I doubt the proceeds from this project will yield any long term financial gain.

C2TheK

That dam ATLIEN got Vibe all caught up in their feelings! Hahahahah! That investment they made in that book is about to be a straight LOSS. The bigwigs over there probably thought the Phaedra book would sell like hot cakes so they could recover from that last bankruptcy. D-WRONG!

That ugly Angie chick is going to make them go belly up again and you are right @PEACHVALLEY – she does not seem to be too bright. But that also says a whole lot about VIBE.

THIS! ^^^^^^ I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW!

@Truth that makes sense. People need to know the game their playing! That Angela woman needs to have SEVERAL SEATS and live her life instead of riding the coattails of someone she THINKS owes her something.

And that EXTORTION plot that HipHopEnquiror revealed sounds believable too. I bet Angela tried to extort Phaedra too and when she wouldn’t give her $$$ she wrote the book. I honestly don’t even care if it’s true or false because the author is so questionable that we will never know anyway,

greenvirgo

The book isn’t selling well because they told the whose damn story. Nothing was left as a mystery. So y buy the book?

Looking back at videos one more time, I can see why Phaedra might just wanna have retained lawyers for any future recourse. But I don’t think she should unleash them on chic. Just let chic make her chump change off what maybe a good read.Don’t seem like chic’s tryin’ to do nothin’ but recoup change for what she thinks Phaedra owed her. This aint’ no hardback coctail table or library status. Just heresay. Phaedra’s married to her only witness so how can this be proven? For all the courts know,those documents could have come from Mexico. Everette looks like a Latino. And you know PhaePhae aint’ leavin’ those dainty fingerprints around. I did see Vibe gettin’ vibes taulmbout "At the A". Still aint’ buyin’ no book dawgs.Much rather watch Phae struttin’ that booty throwin’ witty shade while hubby flexes those "Federal Joint Made Muscles" and baby Ayden smiles sweetly at his good fortune. Now THAT’S entertainment.

@Angeleyez07….Gurl,crackhead claims PhaePhae made up false docs for her dumb azz to scurry ‘roun’ town so she could steal some shyt. You’d think all of this would have been divulged during case. But ring-a-roun-da-crackhead gopher chic got nailed and tryin’ to pin unproven shyt on pretty lil’ smart azz Georgia peach PhaePhae. Aint’ Dat a BYTCH?!!

It’s like…"WHO AMONGST YOU ARE WITHOUT SIN?CAST THE FIRST STONE!". (gotta’ go put on my helmet in case somebody takes me up on that)

Tweety

Atlien,
There has to be a tad bit of truth to this. I said a TAD. I just can’t see someone making these crazy ass accusations. Phaedra is no angel. We seen her lie before, now I know it was just about when she got knocked up but I always wondered y she hooked up w/ a felon straight out of prison. I also bet that them 2 knew e/o. How much of this Angela Stanton story is true is the question. Anyone know what happens if I don’t obey a C&D?

Mickey

So the only thing that wasnt true is that man is not really Apollo’s brother? That doesn’t prove anything. I believe the woman. I didn’t buy the book because I could care less about phony Phaedra. She lied in her first season so I wouldnt put anything past her. What this proves is that you are a friend of Phaedra and would do anything to discredit this woman. I don’t see you writing about how Phaedra’s baby dedication was way over the top and disrespectful to the church. Her whole family should be ashamed. I know you won’t dare say a word against her because you were siting in the front row of this blasphemous act. You are trying to hard to discredit this woman it makes me believe her even more.

Cheryl Stewart via Facebook

@ Mekia….. and there are no other superficial people in the remainder of the World?? I bid differ…however some folks are just plain “salt lake city” and should let it go and move forward…oh forgot us black women don’t have a clue about that!!!

moe24p

Vibe did not back peddle and just because it’s not selling doesn’t mean it’s not true

I still think Phadra is shady tho. Just because her book dropped doesn’t mean the contents are lies. I noticed she got hella quiet all of a sudden, did Phadra cut her a check????? Inquiring minds want to know. Especially since she didn’t file that defamation suit. She lawyered up like she expected to be charged.

Everbody knows…. Phaedras the REALEST house… her friend while she was doin whatever she said shes doin. now shes a certified hater ! gtfu Phaedra..

Courtney BadgirlgoneGood Hayes via Facebook

I know Angela Stanton PERSONALLY and she is telling the truth!!!!! Interview me Straight From The A Phaedra is a low down dirty bitch and she sent that girl to jail, and her mother and grandmother died while she was in there, the sh*t is sad that ppl are turning on her for some editted hooplah off television…..SMFH

Ohhhh

She sent herself to jail. For her to do this now is simply stupid. She should have done during the trail that sent her to jail…just proves how dumb she is. We (Black Folks) hate to see someone make it. It Phaedra was a struggling woman we won’t know your so call friend. and my the way be carefull she might turn on you.

Rachel SoluvinMickey Hollis via Facebook

Somebody always trying to step on somebody else’s back so they can be seen. SO what if Phaedra is low down n dirty…these days who aint?? She doing her, do u! #thirstymuch?drinksomewater

IamMeeeee

That crackhead needs the dough for a hair transplant for those edges!

Seriously though, why would anyone with sense believe the words of this convict over PHAEDRA?

Angela Stanton is a CON ARTIST! And conning is what got her dumb ass locked up. From the looks of it she has conned Vibe Magazine and they feel stupid but can’t back out without losing their own credibility. It’s a FAIL on both ends.

Reallythatruth

I read the book AND looked up the addresses and names she dropped. I think it’s legit. It’s sad that if you have money societal rules don’t apply to you. I think Phaedra got close to her and used her background to her advantage. Sad that y’all think everything is about a buck-it’s not like she can gets job with her background-thanks to Phae. I mean-why is her story so unbelievable when it’s known Phae defended the other two men in their cases??? Right. People need to stop trying to be groupies and fans and stand up for those things that are true! If you went through what Angie went through then you’d clearly understand her mission! She should make money and help other young people along the way AND fake needs to be exposed! Simple as that!

Sheeva

The sad thing is, if Phaedra was a nobody she wouldn’t even think about dropping a book. People never ceases to amaze me with their greed. If someone came into 10 million dollars your very own best friend who you’ve confided in all these years or even know your dirty little secrets will exploit you over greed. Greed brings out the ugly and evilness out the people who you thought that you could trust or count on.

iammeeee

nobody cares about this big lipped bimbo OR her fake book. thats why it is sitting at 14729416 on amazon’s best sellers list

@ATLien Gr8 title to this "Angela Stanton WHO?" It REALLY gets under my skin when someone trys to slander someone just because that person reaches some type of success. So what was the point of this book anyway… Why write a book to make someone else look bad. I hate that.

Ms Thang

The Atlanta legal community has totally distanced themselves from Fakedra and her messiness and believe me, she is shaking like a leaf. She has lost dozens of clients and continues on the downward spiral as a result of Angela Stanton’s book. If you are referring to Vibe correcting her calling Apollo’s friend is brother, you are reaching. Again….Why hasn’t Phaedra filed suit yet? FYI Author Angie, you too can sue Fakedra for defamation of character and slander if she continues to tell ppl that the things you are stating in your book are not true, especially if it causes you to lose sales. Now that would be interesting, especially considering the public documents (proof) you provided in your book!

FloRida

Hey Girl! So why wasn’t Angela sued? The best way to prove your innocence is to have the accuser retract those statements. Sue her for $5 million; it doesn’t matter if she has the money or not… you know that.

Vibe researchers went through that book with a fine tooth comb…again. And all they found was that Everett and Apollo were not "blood" brothers… with $30 million at stake? Come on son!

Well, as for book sales, thanks to all this hoopla I will be purchasing it.

shannon

Well maybe this lady was telling the truth.

I just read online "“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Phaedra Parks’ husband Apollo Nida surrendered to authorities after being charged with bank fraud and identity theft, according to a complaint filed by the U.S. District Attorney’s office in Atlanta Thursday."

ateasweet

At times in the judicial system when you dont have representation you get it for free. It may or may not be best consel so in her case if the stakes was to high and phedra could only represent her man thats expected. She may or may not really had anything to do with the crimes so she didnt want to represent Angela which really would make her look like a criminal. So you get it street brothers to one sister saying they did it and there attorney is no part of it cancels out beat out Angela.

Also to this is nothing new in life I grew up watching this on soap operas and tv shows people do break the law. Some caught up some just do.
I would also like to point out we all have a past just like Judge Mathis he was into crime and street things people change and learn from experience from there mistakes. I look at this type of ent as motivation in my regular life that you can mess up but still be something and correct you wrong or actions to help others through the struggle.
Had Angela not had motivation of seeing Apollo and Phedra still moving forward she wouldnt have the ideal to share her testimony or trial and tribulation. But But its for her to get money of course but also to get it off her chest so she can move on with the rest of her life.
All kind of people are probaly looking to offer her jobs but then again maybe not cause she might do another therapy book. But who knows I hope it works out for her and vibe Phedra and Apollo. Phedra having a book signing at city hall on

Nunya

Why ain’t you post on apolla??????????!!! You ain’t no real journalist

Kay

She just thirsty and clearly bitter about phaedra’s successful. Classic example of misery loves company but in her case she has none.lol . Bottom line is if it was a federal case that she was involved in everyone on connection would have served time so that should speak volumes itself. She just wants her 15min. Of fame by any means. Have a seat boo boo no one cares about what u have to say… ANGELA WHO!!!lol

Angie

Well, with the information that has revealed itself within the last few weeks, it is safe to assume that there IS some validity to the statements in her book. I don’t watch the RHOA, but I watched the interview video on my FB wall just now posted by a friend. After I watched it, of course I Googled the individuals and there is a slew of information on recent arrests of the husband and now Phaedra (hopefully spelled correctly)and her possible involvement. The young lady that wrote the book, had NOTHING to lose when she wrote that book. My momma always says, "what don’t come out in the wash, will come out in the rinse." I bet VIBE is currently rethinking their decision to not support her tell-all book.

Lea

It cannot all be untrue because look at Apollo now, back in trouble for the same sh*t …FRAUD! ATLIen how the hell you gonna clean this up, because you try to clean up everything else when it come the RHOA! I wonder if they have you on the payroll!

Lea

Or are you afraid you won’t get invited to BarOne? ummmm! did that bar close?
